Conventional non-invasive testing to detect obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) by induced myocardial ischemia are not useful to diagnose epicardial or microvascular coronary artery spasm. Invasive testing requires the intracoronary injection of acetylcholine or ergonovine (the latter can also be endovenous). These tests are more often done in Asian countries, and rarely done in...

The vulnerable features of plaque are independently associated to functional measurements done under hyperemia far better than baseline measurements such as iFR. These findings suggest that not only stenosis severity but also plaque features contribute to functional measurements. This is a sub-study of the PACIFIC (Prospective Comparison of Cardiac PET/CT, SPECT/CT Perfusion Imaging and CT...
The results of this great multicenter “real-life” registry are similar to those of randomized clinical trials that studied fractional flow reserve (FFR).
